Already set for a North America 22-date concert run this fall, Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor and their exceptional frontman Adam Lambert announce further Rhapsody Tour shows for 2024. Five mega dome concerts in Japan have been lined up for early February next year.
The band will open a series of giant Japan show dates on February 4 in Nagoya before going on to perform its reimagined Rhapsody show in Osaka (Feb 7), Sapporo (Feb 10) and concluding with two shows at the Tokyo Dome, (February 13 and 14) performing in all to over 200,000 concert-goers. The Sapporo show is a particularly historic one, marking the band’s first return to the city in over 42 years, last played by Queen on its Hot Space tour, on October 29, 1982.
“We are so excited to be returning to Japan”
Roger Taylor speaking alongside Brian May, said in a press announcement: “We are so excited to be returning to Japan, the country that has always held a special and most honoured place in our hearts.” Taylor continues: “This may be the last time…who knows? We promise to bring a very real spectacular for you to enjoy!”

Japan is now once again a regular feature on the touring schedule, Queen and Adam Lambert having returned as recently as 2020 to perform four massive sold-out shows playing to a combined audience of over 132,000 people across the country.
“The Japan shows back in 2020 were so much fun,” says Adam Lambert
An enthusiastic Adam Lambert says: “The Japan shows back in 2020 were so much fun, the audience were incredible! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to come back. Can’t wait!”
Queen + Adam Lambert’s career-spanning Rhapsody Tour setlist celebrates the band’s extensive back catalogue, including “We Will Rock You”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Radio Ga Ga”, and “Somebody To Love” alongside classic deep cuts and vintage fan favourites. The show features a dazzling state-of-the-art stage design, incredible special effects and set pieces.
As with last year’s UK and European dates, the 2024 Japan tour will see Queen + Adam Lambert supported on stage by their regular band members, long-serving Queen keyboard player Spike Edney, bass guitarist Neil Fairclough and percussionist Tyler Warren.
Having extensively toured over the last few years, the Rhapsody show is forever evolving. But it remains at heart a tribute to Freddie Mercury’s legacy, a confirmation of Brian and Roger’s undimmed musical prowess, plus a magnificent showcase for Adam’s vocal skills and electrifying stage charisma, all of which adds up to a full-blooded celebration of one of the greatest songbooks in rock history
